Before dogs were domesticated they of course lived in the wild and fended for themselves. In the vast majority of cases these dogs and or wolves lived long and healthy lives, free of many of the modern diseases we see in them today such as Cancer and Diabetes. Their diet in the wild was comprised of raw meat and bones form the carcases of animals that they were able to bring down as prey, as well as nibbling on whatever fruits and vegetables that were located in their environment.

Followers of the raw food diet philosophy believe that dogs are not genetically pre programed to eat the type of cooked, processed, chemical laden commercial food that the billion dollar dog food industry has been selling us for many years.

By utilizing a raw food diet, your dog will show several noticeable signs of improvement. Things like stronger healthier teeth and gums, a fuller more beautiful coat, way more energy, a better temperament, and of course the added benefit of a much lower chance of contracting Cancer or Diabetes and or many other Auto Immune diseases.

The theory behind making raw dog food instead of purchasing commercial dog food is that dogs are built to better digest this type of diet.

Switching your dog to a raw food diet will entail a bit more planning and preparation, but in the long run it will be well worth the effort. As with the rest of your family, each meal has to prepared for your dog, Although many dog owners will prepare a large amount of the type of food their dog likes and freeze it in meal sized portions and then thaw out the food on a daily basis. If you have the room in a freezer, this is definitely the way to go.

Of course it's obvious why so many dog owners prefer to feed commercial food to their dog. It's simple, easy and relatively inexpensive! Plus, the dog food manufactures spend millions of dollars a year advertising these products to the American consumer.

Although the manufacturers of these foods would have you believe that they provide excellent nutrition for your dog, often the opposite is actually the case. Most of these foods contain grains which are not digested well by many dogs. Plus you'll find things such as artificial sweeteners, taste enhancers and propylene glycol to keep the food moist. As well as a list of anti caking agents, lubricants and preservatives that can read like a material safety data sheet form Dow chemical!

Feeding your dog this kind of diet is a lot like feeding your kids corn chips for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week and calling it good nutrition.
